Boil for at least ten minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Next move onto the pesto, in a pesel and mortar, grind the garlic to a puree, add the pine nuts, then Argan\u00a0Oil. Once fully mixed together, fold the finely chopped basil into the oil mix, being careful not to bruise the herb too much as this will taint the colour of it.<\/li>\n<li>Once the potatoes are cooked, strain them and place in the now empty pan. With a masher start to crush them, but make sure they are not totally smooth. Add the butter and stir gently until all the butter is mixed into the potatoes.<\/li>\n<li>Place a pan on a medium to high heat. Once slightly smoking, add the olive oil and the vine tomatoes, they will split slightly as the skin cooks &#8211; do not worry, this is meant to happen! Once they have a dark almost burnt bottom to them, remove them from the pan and carefully wipe with kitchen paper.<\/li>\n<li>Add a small amount of olive oil and place the sea bass skin side down in the pan. Once the flesh is 2\/3 white, flip the fish over to reveal the crispy brown skin. Add a teaspoon of butter and remove from the heat to continue cooking. Meanwhile, add the chives to the crushed potatoes and mix fully.<\/li>\n<li>Plating up: make a nest of potatoes, lay the sea bass fillet over the potato, then the vine of tomato over the top, circle around with the pesto and a sprig of basil on top of the tomato (optional).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crafted by\u00a0Chef Philip Mayo \u201cThis dish just shouts summer!
